Picking the perfect location for any photos can be time consuming and daunting...what vibe are we going for? Do we want great scenery? Is there a location special to our relationship? All of these questions are so important to consider, but here are my top five recommendations for locations near Kent, Ohio to consider for your next couples or engagement session!

Fred Fuller Park



A usually uncrowded area, this park is in Kent and the perfect location for a more creative shoot. Want to bring your dogs for photos? Have a picnic? Bring your old truck? We can do any of that here while still having beautiful scenery thanks to the trees and river!

Downtown Kent

Looking for more of a city backdrop instead? Downtown Kent is the perfect mix of a historic downtown with brick roads and quaint storefronts and more of a modern town. The Portage Hike and Bike trail in downtown also offers a chance to diversify your gallery with images on the water! Want to stop in a bar for fun, casual shots enjoying a cocktail together? We can do that too!

Station Road Bridge



Beautiful in the summer and fall, this location offers an amazing overlook area, lots of foliage and wooded area, and of course, the bridge. With the ability to take photos on Station Road Bridge and to include it in the background of images, you can create gorgeous images here!


*Example images are from Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, OH but offer similar scenery to Station Road.

Boston Mill Visitor Center

As part of the Cuyahoga Valley, this location is SO diverse! With beautiful wooded areas and ponds you can get whimsical, natural images. A short walk from the parking lot also takes you under the 271 bypass which offers stunning architecture as a background to diversify your gallery.
